"QUALITY ENERGY CONSULTING WITH THE TESTING TO PROVE IT."

Tag: Energy Efficiency

We are proud of our client De Young Properties! De Young is building California’s largest grid-connected Zero Energy Home Community in Clovis called EnVision. The project is scheduled to have 36 homes across 3,300 acres that produce as much energy as they use, ZNE (Zero Net Energy). This will be the first master-planned community in Central California to be Zero Energy and still connected to the grid. DuctTesters is honored to be a part of this project helping De Young Properties with their energy consulting and verification needs.

The Building Industry Association of Southern California’s Los Angeles / Ventura Chapter is holding a: Connecting the Dots: Sustainability and Future Development Event. The Event is going to be held on Thursday, April 27, 2017 from 2:30pm to 8:30pm. This is not your ordinary type of event.

The afternoon will begin with key note speaker: Hasan Ikhrata who is the Executive Director of SCAG.

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) released the 2017 California Advanced Homes Program (CAHP). This program was developed to give builder’s incentives for energy efficient new homes. The program now focuses on the Energy Design Rating (EDR) which is compiled in the 2016 Title 24 Part 6 Energy Calculations which are completed by a Certified Energy Analyst (CEA). That number is used to configure the CAHP EDR. The closer the home’s EDR is to zero, the more incentives the builder receives. To qualify the minimum CAHP EDR for the climate zone – 48 for coastal homes and 44 for inland homes. There are also now certain energy efficiency measures that are eligible for additional incentive kickers (per home) to lower your EDR too. Other good news…the 2017 program now allows per plan to qualify and not entire projects!
